[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in DC and I was all for this when I first heard about it. Whenever I need to maneuver around a huge pickup on a narrow street on my neighborhood, I always wonder why someone needs such a huge vehicle in the city. I also work in traffic safety and know very well that larger vehicles pose a higher risk to pedestrians. But I hadn't thought about people who need the big vehicles for work. That's a good point. I wonder if DC knows anything about the people who own these big vehicles and why they have them. I am guessing not.[/quote] Giant trucks and other oversized vehicles disproportionally put more wear and tear on the roads and, most importantly, are far more dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists than non oversized vehicles. And yes, they should pay a premium for that. The days of dangerous drivers and their dangerous vehicles being coddled by DDOT are over. Don't like it? Hit the road.[/quote]
